Peter Obi, the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate in the last presidential election, has chastised politicians, including President Bola Tinubu, over the recently proposed 114% salary increase for elected officials and public office holders by the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC).
Obi expressed his displeasure in a series of tweets on Thursday, declaring emphatically that the wage increase is currently in terrible taste, given Nigerians’ current economic woes.
He opined that leaders should be focused on reducing the cost of governance and alleviating the suffering of the citizens.
Below is a thread of his tweets.
